Jalapeno Lime Skillet Shrimp
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
1 small onion, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1 pound shrimp, peeled (I removed the tails, but that is up to your preference)
1 lime, zested
juice of half the lime
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
salt to taste
lime wedges, for serving
Instructions:
Yield: 2-3 servings
To a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and butter. Stir in the red chile flakes. Saute the onions and jalapeƱo until tender, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, but not browned, about 1 minute. Toss in the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes begin to break down and release their juices, another 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Then, add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt, cooking and tossing until shrimp just turn pink and are cooked through but still tender, being careful not to overcook. Add the lime zest, lime juice, and cilantro. Taste for seasoning and add more salt as needed. Serve promptly with crusty bread, or over rice or noodles.
